I've been wargaming on and off since the early 1970s. The aim of this Blog is to share my general interest in wargaming, especially WWII.

Pendraken 10mm WWII Polish Range Released

Today I'm a very happy Bunny. I have just placed an order with Pendraken for some of their lovely new WWII Polish miniatures, which I will be collecting at Salute. I did not expect them to be ready for the show, but was more than pleasantly suprised when they announced that they would be launched at Salute.

The '39 campaign I have wanted to game for several years now, having had the pleasure of gaming this conflict with my good friend keith and his lovely 15mm miniatures, but only having the Germans meant that I was unable to do so. However when Pendraken purchased the Blitzkreig Commander II ruleset last year, the Poles were the obvious omission from their range. Hats off to them for quickly producing what is, in my mind, one of their best ranges.

Earlier in the year I put together a BKCII list for a Polish force. On reflection, I have reduced this to one Battalion with supporting elements, largely due to the fact that my painting time is limited these days, so wanted a Battlegroup that I could get onto the table relatively quickly. Also I need to paint up an opposing German force, with the possibility of a Russian one for the latter stages of the campaign. I still plan to play some 'what if?' games/campaigns based around this period. At least I already have a British force finished and a French one based up, but given that Pendraken have also added some lovely new figures to their French range, these may be replaced...

To finish off, a few pics of the new Poles and their wonderful tankettes:
